Connecting with families and creating lifelong relationships with thembrings me so much joy.I love creating a joyful, fun, safe environment for kids and their families, so children learn healthy habits and want to go to the dentist when they are adults.
Having the ability to impact each childs life in a positive way, nurturing and supporting them as they become a young adult, and ensuring they are excited and motivatedto take care of their smile, is the most rewarding experience.
I am a lifelong learner:constantly seeking to expand and strengthen my knowledge and skills in order to provide the best care for each patient. Through continuing postgraduate education courses, I stay uptodate on the latest research, methodologies, and technologies.
Raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia, I have lived in Colorado since 2008. I moved here for my Pediatric Dental Specialty Residency at Children's Hospital Colorado and fell in love with Colorado.I have lived with my family in North Thornton since 2011. Cody, my husband, and I have two young children: son, Jaren Kumar and daughter, Isla Hope. My time with them is treasured, whether were off for an adventure in the mountains, enjoying a game night, hanging out at home with friends, or volunteering at my children's school.
Boardcertified pediatric dentists undergo two years of additional residency training after dental school to workexclusively with children under the mentorship of other experienced pediatric dentists. Thentheyundergo a series of rigorous exams to complete the process. Pediatric dentists dedicate their practice to the specific dental and behavioral needs of children and adolescents.
A little ones first dental experiences influence his or her thoughts about oral healthcare for the rest of their life. It is essential for every visit to be fun, gentle, and worry-free. This teaches children that seeing the dentist is an enjoyable part of life and they graduate to a general dentist with a positive attitude.
Hope Pediatric Dentistry offers a FREE initial dental visit to children age 2 and under called Free Before Three. This gives the family an opportunity to get to know Dr. Lisa and the practice, for children to become comfortable with visiting the dentist, and for parents to learn early oral hygiene information.

Dr. Lisa and her team are amazing! They came in late on a Friday evening for an emergency extraction of my daughter's front teeth after a bike accident. They were great with my girl and with me, had the teeth and us out of there in no time with very little tears considering the situation! Highly recommend for your kids!

I brought my 2 yo daughter to this practice yesterday for her first dental appt. We had a fantastic experience. I was so impressed with how thoughtful all their touches were that were kid friendly and truly a practice for the kids to make them comfortable and even look forward to going to the dentist. I will be continuing with Dr. Lisa and her staff for years to come!
